Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter softened 1 stick
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar or sweetener
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar or sweetener
- 1 large egg Must be at room temperature.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips I used monkfruit sweetened semi-sweet.
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- optional sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar in a mixing bowl using a stand or hand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add egg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Use the mixer and blend on low for 30 seconds. And then blend on medium for a couple of minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping down bowl.
- With mixer on low speed, add flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, blending for about 45 seconds. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Line a cooke sheet with a silicone baking mat. Scoop the cookie dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons) and place them on the cookie sheet about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart. Use wet hands and flatten the top of the cookies. The batter is really sticky. Wet hands work well while handling it.
- Bake for 13-17 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the sheet. If you handle them too soon they will not firm up and will crumble.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool for an additional 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sea salt if you wish.
